I hate to be the one to break the bad news to you, but if it is all stock it is not bluetooth...sorry :(

I dont think bluetooth was out in 2002...I have a 2002 and it is all stock...the button the mirror is for the automatic dimmer...

are you sure the radio has a phone mute button on it?
 






on my 04, I have the in-dash 6-CD changer. It has a mute phone button.
I believe its just a mute for the radio, no bluetooth functionality.

I know there is a button on my rearview mirrow but dont recall the symbol thats on it. I think it just turns the dimming on and off.
 






My 02 has a single CD player in the Dash. To the right of the CD hole is a button with an image of a phone hand set, uder that it says MUTE.

I think all that saying is....MUTE the radio while your on the phone. :salute:
 






You can buy a bluetooth kit that will tie into your stock system, whenever you get a call the sound from the stereo is muted, my stereo also has that button

Plumber, can you post a pic of your mirror?
 






thanks for all the replies, how do I post a picture on here? I would be happy to put one up,is there a way to add it to a post?
 






You need 10 posts to be able to upload a picture to the board.

Or the best way is to get an account at a hosting site.
like www.photobucket.com
its free
you upload you picture to there and after its uploaded links will display below it.
Links for putting your picture in an email or a message board.
Use the link that begins with {IMG} (but it will have square brackets)
paste the link here when you type your update.
After you submit, a picture should display instead of the link.

I checked my 04 last night.
The symbol on the mirror button is a circle with a line pointing up. Almost like a Q but with the little line pointing up.
 






To host the pic in the post, you need to become elite (you pay a 20dll a year fee) but you can host it in photobucket and hotlink it here
